Default Re: The Answer - DN

There was a theory going round that his marriage was mostly one of convenience - his visa was running out and he couldnt guarantee a new one quick enough that it made sense to get married to pick up a green card.

Then, 2 years later, they sit down and talk about marriage and realise they werent right for each other after having no arguments whatsoever?

Im not saying i believe the theory that its simply a marriage for a green card, but it certainly seems like they married way too quickly. I mean, werent they together, they broke up, then a few months they got back together then got married within a couple months.

This theory makes perfect sense. When an immigrant marries an american, they get a two year conditional residency requirement, meaning they have to be married to the american citizen for 2 years before they can apply for permanent residency.

Couple that with the bizarrely amicable divorce and it looks like DN duped the INS.

Clearly the INS needs to propose flippaments with DN for continued residency

I think it got to a point in the marriage where daniel realised...

"Wait, Girls have a vagina?....I'm out"

Daniel N. is getting a divorce.

[/ QUOTE ]

Caught rogering his houseboy, obviously.

Seriously, aren't Christians supposed to have rules about this kind of thing? His post just seems to imply that they're just kind of fed up with each other, so it's time to move on.

I'm not in any way opposed to divorce, there's no kids that they should stay together for, and I'm an atheist myself so what do I know, but this really does seem typical of the modern North American approach to Christianity. Embrace the rules while they suit you, then drop them just as soon as they become inconvenient and start getting in the way of the things that you really want to do.

Reminds me of Newt Gingrich, who dumped his wife for a younger model while she was on her sickbed, dying of cancer. Not that Daniel is doing anything so cruel. Rather, that both of them have been espousing a set of values that they don't appear to genuinely embrace.

[ QUOTE ]

The part I found interesting was that they both had agreed that they had tried their best.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dude, they've only been married for two years. I've had *arguments* with my wife that lasted longer than that.

While I don't believe that people should stay together and be miserable, if you're genuinely committed to a relationship, you stick in there and work at it even when things don't seem to be working. Because the relationship is more important than the other, trivial stuff that's getting in the way.

Daniel's blog is very nice and respectful, but I think it's also somewhat dishonest insofar as I don't believe it's telling us what the real reasons for his divorce are. Now, it's none of our business anyway, and he may not even know himself, but in my experience this 'we've grown apart' business tends to be a euphemism for one of two things:

a.) I want somebody else, or
b.) I hate your guts

Finally, I think it's a little weird discussing someone else's divorce in this way, but if he puts his private business out there for public discussion, it doesn't seem unreasonable to speculate and pontificate.

LOL, funny stuff

BTW, I've never met a dumb aetheist (& I'm not saying you are, just an interesting observation)

"People who call other people gay are often covering up their own latent homosexuality."

And you are calling other people gay for calling DN gay therefore you are gay.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, when other people call Daniel gay, they are gay.

When someone says other people are gay because those people call Daniel gay, it makes that person straight.

The two gay accusations cancel each other out. Kind of like multiplying with fractions

Once we finished talking we both felt sooo much better instantly! I liked her better already, lol! We complimented each other, looked at each other, and both felt like it was the absolute right thing to do. Once the decision was made, we hugged and then hung out for a bit watching TV. It didn’t even feel awkward at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats seriously strange.

"Honey, I don't love you anymore."
"OK. Whats on HBO?"

Anybody recall Norman Chad making a comparison between the length of his marriages and the likely length of Daniel's?
